Default Need help with S4 brakes, (Porsche calipers) please read...

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/7493/dsc00492.jpg"></center><p>Ok, here is the deal, I am hoping you guys can help. I have a 2002 A4 (8e chasis), which I have already upgraded to S4 brake4s. The install was completely bolt on. What I would like to do is actually use Porsche Boxster calipers. What do i need to do this? I would like to continue to use the same rotors that I have. Is this possible? Can I buy the carriers for this alone, or do I have to buy a complete kit? Thanks in advance for the help! BTW, here is a pic of my car because that usually gets more hits!!!

Buy calipers, custom fabricate a bracket. Bolt it on.

Default beautiful car, but I don't dig the red calipers.

Since your car is such a "different" color, I think the brakes should be something different as well. Silver, black, hmm I dunno, but red doesn't do it for me with the crystal blue. I'm just inserting my opinion, don't mind me....

Default Boxter brakes are smaller than S4 brakes. However, 993TT brakes should be direct bolt on but you

should check with a tuner first. ECS sells a 993TT kit for the S4. According to ECS you can use 993TT rotors with slight pad modification on stock S4 calipers. You can also use the 993TT calipers on stock S4 rotors.

See their site for more info, but keep in mind that the boxter brakes are not as big as the S4 brakes
